MACON, Ga. — Former Councilman and Pastor Charles Jones — who died earlier this month — will be honored once again on Friday.

Macon-Bibb County announced that they’ll unveil street signs on Plant Street dedicated to Jones, according to a press release. The signs will be placed between Jeff Davis Street and Mercer University Drive. The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m.
